See St. Joseph: help rebuild B and J Skate, brave the asylum, and savor the sip this weekend

Wondering how to spend your weekend? Whether you're in the mood to give back, sip something new, or face a few ghosts, a weekend full of surprises is in store.

First up, this Saturday, help bring back a piece of childhood. B & J Skate Center, a St. Joseph staple, was badly damaged in a fire last month. Now, the community is rallying to raise funds to help rebuild it.

It’s all happening at Good Times Event Center, Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Entry is free, and there’ll be food, games, music, vendors, and bounce houses. Wristbands are $20 for unlimited bounce time, and game tickets are just a dollar. It’s fun for the whole family and all proceeds go to the B & J Skate Center.

If you’d like to volunteer, be a vendor, or perform, contact 816-262-1574.

Now… if you're up for something a little darker — how about an overnight ghost hunt?

This Friday night, the historic and very haunted Glore Psychiatric Museum opens its doors for a full paranormal investigation. The 19th-century asylum is packed with chilling history and real-life ghost stories. Disembodied voices, shadow figures, even a haunted morgue, it's not for the faint of heart.

Your ticket includes snacks, ghost-hunting equipment, a history briefing, and full overnight access from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Spots are limited, so grab yours if you dare. Just remember, this isn’t a haunted house... it’s the real deal. Tickets are online at Haunted Soulz.com

Looking to sip something new and fun this month? Hazel’s Downtown is bringing back their popular Flights event this Saturday at 9am. 

You’ll have the chance to try one of three unique drink flights:
– A matcha and loose-leaf tea flight,
– A lemonade, boba, and strawberry breeze combo,
– Or a coffee lover’s dream flight with iced lattes, cold brew, and affogato.

Flights come in 4–6 oz pours, giving you a taste of several new flavors on Hazel’s menu.

Seating is limited to just 8 people per session, so they highly recommend reserving your spot. Walk-ins are welcome, but paid reservations come with 10% off in-store purchases, too.

It’s fun, flavorful, and happening twice a month at Hazel’s Downtown, so grab a friend and make a reservation before it fills up!

So whether you’re giving back, ghost-hunting, or sampling new brews at Hazel’s,, there’s no shortage of adventure in St. Joe this weekend. Get out, sip something new, and make some memories! That’s all for this weekend. Be sure to tune in every Thursday for more ways to See St. Joseph.
